Airsoft grenade launchers

Airsoft grenade launchers

Airsoft grenade launchers can be divided into standard and underslung grenade launchers. Standard ones have the shape of a gun and can be used separately. Underslung grenade launchers are not used separately, but must be attached to a submachine gun or assault rifle, normally via mounting rails under the barrel.

Real grenade launchers fire different types of grenades (teargas, explosive, smoke) into space. However, an airsoft grenade designed for a grenade launcher is not fired into space, but is merely a means of firing a pile of 6mm BB pellets into space. Such airsoft grenades can have different pellet capacities and are powered by gas that is refilled from a cylinder (so called Green Gas).

Airsoft grenade launchers are mainly used during airsoft competitions. If you are going to purchase a standard or underslung airsoft grenade launcher, be sure to purchase an airsoft grenade insert, BBs of the correct weight and propellant gas.
